Tide beat empty city

When Yongnian entered the carriage, every time he stopped for more than a moment, Zhanxin would scold him: You talk as soon as you arrive, it's too noisy, and it's so crowded that Dad has no place to sleep.I was younger and more obedient, so I was able to stay.

He also warned him with his eyes: Daddy is mine.

Yongnian withdrew, smiling bitterly to himself.This is not a three-year-old child, a whole little goblin.

But who asked Zhao to treat her as precious as an eyeball.No matter how acidic his heart was, he couldn't afford it.

At least not for now.

Zhan Zhao was also puzzled, frowned and asked Zhan Xin: Why do you speak to uncle like that.He beat you and scolded you?

Zhan Xin shook his head, laughed and said: No.I am playing with him.He is an adult, and he will not be angry with children.

Zhan Zhao laughed out loud: Are you playing with him?You are so angry with him that he doesn't want to play with you for the rest of his life.

If you don't play, don't play, Zhan Xin hangs him by the neck, I have a father.

Zhan Zhao's heart softened, he patted the back of her head and said softly, don't bully others casually in the future.

Zhanxin was upset, she pouted and said, I listen to you, and the kids outside bully me.Isn't it the same for adults?Daddy, you are so stupid.

Zhan Zhao was startled, then smiled and said, he is a bit stupid.Well, whoever bullies you in the future, you will return it.But you still can't bully people casually. If you don't like being bullied, neither will others.

Zhan Xin blinked and said, I didn't bully my uncle.He is so big, how can I bully him?I was, talking to you and didn't want him to listen.

say what?Zhan Zhao was a little curious.

Zhan Xin lay next to his ear and said in a breathy voice: Do you like me the most?

Of course.

Will you have younger siblings in the future, or do you like me the most?

Ok.

Then when I find my husband's family, I still like you the most.

Mother-in-law's family?Who taught you to say it?

...is a secret.I tell you……

The next day after returning, Zhan Zhao went out to the outskirts of the city, and when he arrived home in the evening, he carried a cloth bag, and there was a pungent smell from the place he passed.The servant did not dare to evade openly, but covered his nose behind his back and fled.Zhan Zhao frowned secretly, knowing that he held it in his hand and smelled it all the way, his stomach was churning at this moment, and this dinner might not be able to bear it anymore.

Yongning waited and waited until he didn't come to eat, so he found the storage room, and almost got pushed out by the smell when he opened the door.Resisting to hold his breath and opening his eyes, Zhan Zhao stood in the middle of the room, tightly covering his mouth and nose with one hand, and was looking at an oblate ball with thorns on the table.Taking a closer look, she couldn't help but turn pale, her feet were firmly pinned, and she couldn't escape.

Zhan Zhao turned his head to see her, let go of his hands and gasped for a few breaths, and said, get out quickly.You and Xinxin eat first, don't wait for me.

Yongning stood still, his eyes filled with fear silently.

Zhan Zhao was surprised and moved again.Pulling back and closing the door, he dragged her back to the front hall.I just said after I felt refreshed, it was civet fruit.have you seen?

He rushed to Yu Yang's house early in the morning and asked Yu's wife that it was this kind of fruit that the princess ate that day.Because it is a gift from a foreign country, and it tastes weird, the folks seldom see it. Even when he often goes in and out of the palace, this is the first time he has seen it.It is normal for Li Yibei people not to like food; but Li Xian can enjoy it, probably because he has lived in high school for many years and has become a habit of eating for a long time.

Yongning is her only daughter, so there is no reason why she has never heard of it.

According to Yu's wife, the civet fruit has been available for years, but it is not suitable for the public, so the quantity is scarce.The one left after I presented it to the royal court, my family didn't eat it, so I put it away and forgot it.If Zhan Zhao didn't come to pick it up, it would inevitably spoil and throw it away.

But this fruit is not only non-toxic and harmless, but also according to Yu's wife, it is very beneficial for women who are weak after giving birth and nourishing qi and blood.So it is reasonable to give it to Li Yi.

After hearing this, Zhan Zhao became suspicious: Yu Yang was familiar with the nature of fruit, but he himself could not swallow it, why would he dedicate it to Li Yi, who had just arrived and was not used to the diet of the Southern Land?If he poisoned deliberately, he would have more than a hundred kinds of fruits and vegetables in his hands. Wouldn't he be more sure of success if he chose the ones that are easy to eat?

Besides, Yu Yang should know that Li Xian likes such a peculiar smell.How could he not have thought of such a simple reasoning in advance.

Yong Ning was still in a daze, his face still unable to recover.Did she remember her mother's death?It's not as simple as that.Zhan Zhao waited until she finally asked: What do you take home for this smell?

Zhan Zhao said quietly, I want to see where the poison should be injected into such a dense shell.It's a pity that Brother Yu committed suicide before he could ask in detail.

Even Yongning's lips lost their color: Poisoned?Could it be that mother was poisoned?Why did my brother tell me that she was old and overworked?What does it have to do with Yu Yang...

The more she spoke, the more trembling her voice became, until she broke down in tears.

Zhan Zhao shook his head and said, I also want to know what happened, so I took it back.If you remember anything, just tell me.

A white light flashed in front of Yongning's eyes, suddenly he couldn't see him clearly.Unable to sit down, he leaned on the edge of the table with both hands, shaking violently.

Zhan Zhao sighed slightly, patted her on the shoulder to comfort her, it doesn't matter if I can't remember, I will check slowly.Mo startled the fetal gas.

Hearing his words, Yong Ning slowly raised his head and stared at it for a while, seeming to calm down.Asked in a low voice, did you give him that bead?

Zhan Zhao was taken aback, unexpectedly she mentioned this matter at this time.Then he said calmly, it was sent to Brother Bai for healing.How do you know...

She looked at him, her transparent eyes could not tolerate a speck of scum.Teach her the eyes of love, and see her dark twists and turns clearly, how many times it made her cry and scream, willing to die because of it.

Does she still have that kind of luck? Maybe if she makes a mistake once, she will lose everything.She closed her eyes tightly, rubbed her upper abdomen with her hands, and tears kept overflowing.

Zhan Zhao became more and more surprised, and leaned slightly: Yongning?

Yongning shook his head, don't ask, don't ask.let me hold you.

Just as it was the last time, before being devoured by the fire of hell.

She hugged his waist with all her strength, as if she wanted to rub her whole life into it, and she couldn't separate him with a knife or an axe.Bit by bit of the past, like a river pouring back into the chest, but she is not the sea, and cannot bear that kind of longing and sadness.

It's just that I want to hold you for the rest of my life and never let go.

The road ahead is boundless, and she has no courage.I don't dare to hope that after many years, I will sleep in his arms and leave safely.So I would rather choose at this moment...

But boy.

The unstoppable sobbing in his arms made Zhan Zhao unable to think.He stroked her hair over and over again and whispered, I'm here, I'm here.

It wasn't until Zhanxin yelled "Daddy" and stood at the door in a daze that she wiped away her tears and raised her head.He stretched out his hand and said to his daughter, come to mother.

Zhan Xin walked over and leaned into her arms, looking into her eyes with sadness that was not commensurate with her age.

Yongning lowered his head and held her hand, placed it in Zhan Zhao's palm, and covered his own.She smiled and asked, Xinxin likes her brother or sister?

Zhan Xin looked up at his father, and said honestly: I like father and mother, but I am the only one.

Yongning sighed and shook his head, Xinxin, this world is too big.You alone, very alone.Daddy is lonely too.Don't you want to be alone with him?

Zhan Xin hesitated, then, then what do you say.I also don't want me and my dad to be alone.

Yongning smiled and said, Mother gave birth to a younger brother to accompany you.I know it's my younger brother, because in the future, there will be no more... Tears flowed down again, making it impossible for her to continue.

Zhan Xin reached out and wiped the tears on her face, and comforted her, mother, don't cry.You have a younger brother, I agree.

Yongning tried hard to swallow tears, shook her hand and nodded: You have to love your younger brother and take care of your father.Don't let them get sick, get bullied...

Zhan Xin nodded repeatedly, but Zhan Zhao became more and more suspicious as he listened. He gently pulled Zhan Xin and asked, Yongning, what did you say.Xinxin is so young, she doesn't understand.

Yongning shook his head slowly, she understood.My child, she understands.He's yours, you just have to wait and he'll come...

Zhan Zhao was dazed and sad when he heard it.Of course he will wait, just like he waited to come to Zhanxin, a lamp on the dark ground, illuminating and warming his way.But what are those beads?Before he could think it through, Yongning held his hand and said, throw away the civet fruit.Promise me that you will never touch it in your life.Don't touch anyone you love either.You can give the beads to whoever you want.With him, it's good to stay.

Zhan Zhao is puzzled: Yong Ning, I will give you a bead to save my life, I never thought of hiding it from you.It's just you, why do you think of it today?

Yongning didn't answer, stood up and took Zhanxin by the hand and told him that the two children were hungry.You are Daddy, come to eat with them, okay?

While Zhan Zhao was hesitating, Zhan Xin had already grabbed him and ran outside, cheerfully saying loudly, "Eat, you won't get sick after eating."Dad, what do you want to ask?Xinxin tells you.

He turned his head and saw Yongning's face half covered by candlelight.The resentment was hard to describe, which made him tremble uncontrollably, and all the questions came back to his heart.

Yongnian walked straight into the backyard, the bamboo forest shaded the path, and the moss marks were light when he stepped on it, and there was a wound with every step.

A gust of wind came through the door, attracting people inside and outside the threshold to turn their heads and look at each other silently.

Zhan Zhao was lying alone on the couch, half-sitting against the head of the bed.The faint light from the bottom of the lake overflowed from those eyes, making him suffocate like drowning.

After taking a look, Zhan Zhao got up from the bed and took two steps forward, nodding his head as a greeting.He reached out for two teacups and poured water slowly.

The bamboo wind is like water, so quiet.Yongnian recited silently, full of words and phrases, choking until his chest felt tight and painful.This person, what should he do.

Sitting down and concentrating for a while, Zhan Zhao said, Yongning took Xiner to incense.The prince chose this time to come, do you have something to say to Zhan?

Yongnian raised his eyes and swept the couch, not knowing where his soul was.Ask in a daze, you never take a nap, are you sick today?

Zhan Zhao smiled silently, Zhan returned home after helping his illness, and the prince walked with him all the way, maybe he didn't know.

Yongnian bit his lip tightly.You can't go back to yesterday, and what you say is to force him, or to force yourself.Vomiting all the blood, whose injury is the pain.

Zhao, you came back for Yu Yang.Why don't you give me a single question.

Zhan Zhao chuckled, why don't you ask, didn't the prince just say it.

Yongnian shook his head, I came to see you.It always has been.You never understand either.

His heart suddenly constricted, Zhan Zhao frowned and covered his chest.If death and intrigue exist, originate from this look.What will he redeem.

Putting his hand down with a sigh of relief, he said, Zhan will ask you to explain.I never asked, just because I promised Yongning to wait for her to give birth to a child.At that time, the road will return to the road, and the bridge will return to the bridge, and the result will be self-knowledge.

Why wait for her to have a baby, Yongnian laughed uncontrollably, you know.

Zhan Zhao smiled, I still know that she is Xiner's mother and my wife.

Yes, she wants to keep you by her side so much that she does not hesitate to do things against her will.Poor woman.Yongnian sighed and stood up, Zhao, I'm going back.During these days, take care of your sister, and take care of yourself.

Moving into the deep courtyard, the wider the courtyard becomes.The summer is long beside the Yangguan road, and the fruit in autumn is bitter or sweet?I just want to share it with you.

Since then, Yongnian has visited from time to time every three to five days to discuss family relationships together, which is a picture scroll of joy and harmony.If Zhan Xin didn't like it, he also accepted his uncle's existence and played around with him.Occasionally invite me when I leave late, let's stay at my house, anyway, there are plenty of houses.

From Yongnian's point of view, this child looks innocent, but actually has a sly smile on his face.So he gritted his teeth, endured a moment of reluctance, and returned home.

In a blink of an eye, the dew will be exhausted, and everyone is starting to get things for the Mid-Autumn Festival.One day, Zhan Zhao chose He Yi and wanted to send it to Yu's house in person. Not far from the house, he met a galloping horse, and rushed to him in an instant.

The rider rolled his saddle and knelt down, refusing to raise his head for a long time.

Zhan Zhao was slightly surprised, and pulled his arm to stand up.Stand aside and ask quickly, Yu Yuan, but you came back to spend the holiday with your mother?how is your sister

It was only after he finished speaking that he saw tears on his face, it turned out that he was choked up and unable to speak.Yu Yuan rolled his throat a few times, and finally said, Master, I'm hungry.I came directly and didn't go home.

When he entered the room, he wolfed down his food, Zhan Zhao said, no one disturbs you here, just say what you have to say.

Yu Yuan grinned, Master, my sister gave birth to a boy.Someone at home in Changzhou is taking care of me, so I'll come back to see you and my mother.Nothing else.

Zhan Zhao nodded, I happened to be going to your house too.Let's go together when we are full.After seeing the old man, I will still send you back to Changzhou.

Yu Yuan shouted, Master, it's not that I don't know the way, so I don't need someone to send me off.If you bring something for mother, I'll take it back, so there's no need for you to make another trip by yourself.

Zhan Zhao glanced at the table, stretched out his hand to untie his baggage, and shook it.The hidden weapon medicine bottles fell out one after another, jingling and rolling all over the ground.

Visiting family, do you need to bring these?Zhan Zhao asked, his expression gradually turned cold.

Yu Yuan flushed all over his face, lowered his head and squeezed his mouth tightly.

Zhan Zhao stood up, and drew the iron sword on his waist, the cold light was as cold as practice.He looked at the edge of the sword, and nodded slowly: it was sharpened.I don't know whose neck blood I want to drink?

Yu Yuan couldn't hold it anymore, fell to his knees with a plop, and said in a low voice, Master, don't stop me.

Zhan Zhao looked down at him, and said for a long time, you can't hide your words at all.If you want to lie to me, you shouldn't come.But since you are about to die, you want to say goodbye to me?

Yu Yuan raised his head, under Zhan Zhao's slightly frowned brows, his eyes were as clear as water, but it just made it difficult for people to see the truth, whether he was happy or angry.He didn't dare to answer the words, and when he came, his determination was swaying here and there, for fear that he would collapse at the touch of a touch.

The children who grew up with him are used to looking up and relying on him, and they tell him everything in their hearts.When you really need to tell a lie, you can spot it at a glance.Yu Yuan felt that he was really useless, so he simply let his tears flow down.

Zhan Zhao shook his head and said, who can be killed like this.Just wait, tell me a reason, and I won't stop you.

Yu Lan gave birth for less than half a month, and when everyone was not paying attention, she threw herself into the water and sank.Before she died, she left a letter to her brother, regretting that she was exhausted and her father died in vain, and she had long since lost her thoughts about life; now that her child is safe and secure, she has nothing to worry about.Let Yu Yuan comfort his mother, don't be sad.

Yu Yuan hurried back at night because Yu Lan said in her suicide note that the civet fruit involved in the case had never been in Yu Yang's hands; she secretly sent it to the palace by herself while her father was away, and handed it to Yongnian herself.It's just in the name of doing business on behalf of the father. When I saw him, why did I ever have evil intentions to poison others.Yu Yang turned himself in and pleaded guilty. She seemed to have protected her daughter. She never said whether she wanted to protect anyone else.

The word Yu Yuanjian is like a thunderbolt.After thinking about it, he rode back to South Vietnam alone.

At this moment, he wiped away his tears and still bowed his head and said, "Master, please don't scold me. I know that my father and sister are dead, and I will kill as many people as I can, but I won't be able to save them. I also know my father's last wish, and Master's great hope is that I should survive." , Follow the way to live and live. I came back because I thought of many things. If I don’t say or do, I will be uneasy even if I live.

Zhan Zhao raised his hand to pull him up, and said calmly, "You can tell me what you think of."

Staring into his eyes, tears slowly accumulated again.Yu Yuan called softly: "Master."

Zhan Zhao's eyebrows twitched, and he suddenly realized that his eyes were almost at the same level as his own.Yu Yang was loyal and devoted his whole life to the rest of the world. The people he wanted to protect, apart from the Yuwen family he was loyal to, were these few relatives.Loved ones, thinking of this, another wave of familiar pain in my heart.

Yu Yuan blushed when he saw him, lowered his eyes and said, "Master, I am not a child anymore. I have lived in the military camp for several years, and I have never heard any miscellaneous words. I have figured out all the things I didn't understand in the past few days. I Come back, if father knows why, he won't blame me."

"My sister said that the civet fruit was designated by the palace. The foreign envoys were sent to my house first, and then the tribute was distributed every year, according to the usual practice. If there is a case at this juncture, my father will definitely be implicated. But who will deliberately implicate him? He has never No enemies."

"I already know who the elder sister's child belongs to. The father tried his best to keep the child, and he also saved the child's father; he has long known who the poisoner is. Who wants to get rid of the princess most, no matter the old or the young? But that person cannot be caught and declared to be the murderer."

"The man who kills two birds with one stone, I know who he is. My father only wants to die in exchange for peace in the world. I understand. I also understand why my father was involved in the storm."

"Father has no enemies, only those who are close to him. Some people don't like him, and they are close to him..."

He couldn't speak.Stretching out his hand to hold Zhan Zhao, he called again: "Master... I can't lose my father, and let him hurt you..."

Zhan Zhao closed his eyes heavily and suppressed his disordered breathing.His throat was so stiff that he could hardly make a sound, and he only said for a while, "No. Don't you believe in Master."

Yu Yuan calmed down, and said softly: "Now I understand why I keep walking around him. It turns out that those hatreds have happened since we first met. He hates his father and also hates me."

He said, with fear in his eyes unconsciously: "Who else does he hate? How will he treat you in the future if he is so cruel. I believe in Master, but I also know that you will not do it. You asked me to kill him , Once it’s settled. I’ve said the truth, can Master stop it?”

Zhan Zhao leaned on his shoulders, his hands trembling slightly: "No matter what the reasoning is, it will not be more precious than you. You can't kill him."

He raised his hand to block Yu Yuan's rebuttal: "He can kill one, but he doesn't care about killing two or three. Your father is already an example. At this time, he may be waiting to take your life, or to charge someone with a crime. Send it to your door The fool who went is not my disciple of Zhan Zhao."

On Yu Yuan's face, the broken expression reappeared: "Master, do you want me to be completely orphaned?"

He also originally came here with the will to die.Life and death are both good, but the thought of staying with him is only sweet.With a look from Zhan Zhao, his hope was shattered like this.Desperation spread coldly, and he knew what he had decided.

Do not hesitate to push away close people.He has always been able to do it.

Undoubtedly ruthless.

Zhan Zhao took off the giant que and tied it around his waist, took a few steps back to look at it, and said with a slight smile, "Let me make arrangements and send you away."

Yu Yuan burst into tears: "Master really doesn't want to see me again, just say a word. Juque is still up to you, I can't hold it securely."

Zhan Zhao reprimanded: "Aren't you worthy of taking it? Don't underestimate yourself."

Yu Yuan lowered his head and touched the scabbard, feeling his warmth.The heavenly object that I have envied for a long time, I can't think of holding it in my hand, it is actually this situation.

I dare not ask for it.I am very afraid of the long years, see you once, and feel sad once.Bitter hate lovesickness never idle.

Not willing to say no.Struggling repeatedly, I had to ask: "Then what do you use? I'm afraid it won't work well."

Zhan Zhao shook his head and said with a smile, "Swords are used by people, so they are the same for me." He picked up Yu Yuan's iron sword and put it back into its sheath, and said, "Just use it."

He ordered the servants to take Yu Yuan to prepare the horses, and Zhan Zhao packed his bags and went out with his sword.After walking past the rockery in the garden, Yong Ning stood at the bottom of the tree to gather osmanthus, Zhan Xin held a clay pot, and followed step by step, looking up and waiting for his mother to put the dried petals in.

Build a courtyard wall to separate yourself from the hustle and bustle of the world, and find a home you can return to at night.There is no coldness to be rejected, no disappointment to be found.Even if it is just a tree, born to protect the people, it also needs the temperature of the soil and sunshine, and its own roots are deep and leafy, so that it can have great compassion.

Not to mention people.

When Zhan Xin saw his father, he ran over and slammed into his arms, touched the bag and asked, what is this?Wherever you go, Xinxin will go too.

Zhan Zhao kissed her face, said with a smile, go to a yard where peach blossoms can bloom in spring.In spring, when you stand with the peach blossoms, you must be beautiful.

Is it spring now?I want to see peach blossoms.

It is autumn now, peach blossoms are sleeping.When your birthday is next year, they will wake up, and dad will take you to see it again.

Oh well.But I also want to see them sleeping.

Not good looking.Like you, drooling.

lie.Mother, father lied.

Zhan Zhao patted her with a smile, stood up and said to Yong Ning who was approaching, "Yu Yuan is leaving, I'll give him a ride. Next spring..." He pondered for a while, stroking her shoulder and sighing: "Let's talk about it then. Yu Yuan is still waiting, don't leave home, wait for me to come back."

Yong Ning nodded silently, watching him drift away, with tears welling up in his eyelashes for no reason.
